Here is a soldier stationed in Iraq , stationed in that bigsand box. He asked his wife to send him dirt (U.S. soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can have the! sweet aroma, and feel thegrass grow beneath his feet When the men of the squadron have a mission, they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil before they go -- to bring them good luck.

If you notice, he is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors.Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don't stop and think about thelittle things that we take for granted.

Upon receiving this, say a little prayer or send a good thought to oursoldiers that give and give (and give up) so unselfishly for us.
